'Oh God, Help this dog' - by K J S Chatrath





I came out of the Archeological Museum Hampi located in Kamlapura a few days back. I started moving towards the auto which was patiently waiting for me. And then I saw this dog. Part of a plastic pitcher seemed to have got stuck around his neck. I am not a dog person. In fact far from it, I hate dogs and am terribly afraid of them. But I stopped and thought how to help it. There was no one else in sight.

I gathered courage and slowly moved towards the dog with the intention of gently freeing it from the plastic yoke. The dog got up and then as I took another step, it ran away and quickly disappeared from my sight.

I am an atheist and do not believe in God. But I have been silently praying to him to help this dog.
